Mabel Davison runs a struggling motel and diner while caring for two small boys in a mountain town where many shun her for what she’s done.
Desperate to rekindle fractured friendships, she is surprised one night by an alcoholic ex-husband showing up on her porch, setting into motion events that could either unite her family or tear it apart.
Encouraged to restart a missing girls’ cold case weighing heavily on her heart, she gets nowhere fast — until she desperately questions a gang member she helped put in prison. His sordid tale is more lies and threats than truth. But the clues he gives point to her past, and she uncovers to her horror, a serial killer on the hunt.
As a cat-and-mouse game unfolds, she unravels a web of secrets in her inner circle that threatens to destroy everything she holds dear.
